NFD version 0.5.0
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Release date: October 4, 2016
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Version 0.5.0 introduces several breaking changes to the internal API (forwarding pipelines,
|
|
strategy interface, tables) and wire format of management protocol
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
As of version 0.5.0, NFD requires a modern compiler (gcc >= 4.8.2, clang >= 3.4) and a
|
|
relatively new version of Boost libraries (>= 1.54). This means that the code no longer compiles
|
|
with the packaged version of gcc and boost libraries on Ubuntu 12.04. NFD can still be
|
|
compiled on such systems, but requires separate installation of a newer version of the compiler
|
|
(e.g., clang-3.4) and dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Changes since version 0.4.1
|
|
|
|
New features
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
- Add Adaptive SRTT-based Forwarding strategy (:issue:`3566`)
|
|
|
|
- **breaking change** Introduce configurable policy for admission of unsolicited data packets into
|
|
the content store (:issue:`2181`). Currently available policies:
|
|
|
|
* ``DropAllUnsolicitedDataPolicy`` (**the new default**): drop all unsolicited data packets
|
|
* ``AdmitLocalUnsolicitedDataPolicy`` (the old default): allow unsolicited data packets from local
|
|
applications to be cached (e.g., with a lower priority), drop all other unsolicited data
|
|
* ``AdmitNetworkUnsolicitedDataPolicy``: allow unsolicited data packets from the network to be
|
|
cached (e.g., with a lower priority), drop all other unsolicited data
|
|
* ``AdmitAllUnsolicitedDataPolicy``: cache all unsolicited data packets
|
|
|
|
- Introduce mechanism to update properties (e.g., flags, persistency) of an existing Face
|
|
(:issue:`3731`). Note that the corresponding ``nfdc`` command will be available in the next
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
Updates
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
- **breaking change** Strategy API update. FIB entry is no longer supplied to the
|
|
``Strategy::afterReceiveInterest`` method (i.e., FIB lookup is not performed by the forwarding
|
|
pipelines). When necessary, a strategy can request FIB lookup using ``Strategy::lookupFib``
|
|
(:issue:`3664`, :issue:`3205`, :issue:`3679`, :issue:`3205`)
|
|
|
|
- **breaking change** ForwarderStatus dataset can now be requested only with
|
|
``/localhost/nfd/status/general`` interest (:issue:`3379`)
|
|
|
|
- Optimizations of tables and forwarding, including reduced usage of ``shared_ptr`` (:issue:`3205`,
|
|
:issue:`3164`, :issue:`3687`)
|
|
|
|
- Display extended diagnostic information if NFD crashes (:issue:`2541`)
|
|
|
|
- Visualize NACK counters in ``nfd-status`` output (:issue:`3569`)
|
|
|
|
- Extend management to process the new ``LocalFieldsEnabled`` attribute when creating/updating Faces
|
|
(:issue:`3731`)
|
|
|
|
- Switch logging facility to use Boost.Log (:issue:`3562`)
|
|
|
|
- Refactor implementation of ``nfdc`` tool, which now supports a new command-line syntax and
|
|
retrieval of status datasets (:issue:`3749`, :issue:`3780`). This is the first step in
|
|
implementing an interactive mode for ``nfdc`` (:issue:`2542`).
|
|
|
|
- ``nfd-status`` tool has been merged into ``nfdc`` with a wrapper script provided for backwards
|
|
compatibility (:issue:`3658`)
|
|
|
|
- Refactor implementation of RIB Manager to make it uniform with other managers (:issue:`2857`)
|
|
|
|
- Miscellaneous code refactoring (:issue:`3738`, :issue:`3164`, :issue:`3687`, :issue:`3205`,
|
|
:issue:`3608`, :issue:`3619`, :issue:`2181`)
|
|
|
|
- Update WebSocket++ to version 0.7.0 (:issue:`3588`)
|
|
|
|
- Updates to reflect the latest changes in ndn-cxx library (:issue:`3760`, :issue:`3739`,
|
|
:issue:`2950`, :issue:`2063`)
|
|
|
|
Bugfixes
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
- Ensure ``NccStrategy`` explores all potential upstreams (:issue:`3411`)
|
|
|
|
- Add missing processing of NACK in ``pit::Entry::hasUnexpiredOutRecords`` (:issue:`3545`)
|
|
|
|
- Fix issue with WebSocket-based Face creation when IPv4-mapped IPv6 loopback addresses are
|
|
considered non-local (:issue:`3682`)
|
|
|
|
- Make sure that the outgoing Interest pipeline uses the newest in-record when sending out an
|
|
Interest (:issue:`3642`)
|
|
|
|
- Properly delete PIT in-record and out-record when face is destroyed (:issue:`3685`)
|
|
|
|
- Fix ``Pit::find`` leak of ``NameTreeEntry`` (:issue:`3619`)
|
|
|
|
- Fix ``Pit::erase`` crash when Interest name contains implicit digest (:issue:`3608`)
|
|
|
|
- Fix use-after-free in ``Rib::erase`` and ``RibManagerFixture::clearRib`` (:issue:`3787`)
|
|
|
|
Deprecations
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
- ``ClientControl`` forwarding strategy. The NextHopFaceId is now honored universally
|
|
(:issue:`3783`)
|
|
|
|

|
|
``StrategyInfoHost::insertStrategyInfo`` (:issue:`3205`)
|
|
|
|
Deletions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
- Previously deprecated BroadcastStrategy (:issue:`3206`)
|
|
|
|
- Unused command-line tool ``nrd`` (:issue:`3570`)
|
|
|
|
- ``SegmentPublisher`` and ``RibStatusPublisher``, both replaced by ``ndn::Dispatcher``
|
|
(:issue:`2857`)
|
|
|
|
- ``CommandValidator``, which has been replaced by ``CommandAuthenticator`` (:issue:`2063`)
